The light of the moon filters through the cracks in your chamber window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the silent air. The sound of heavy footsteps echoes down the stone corridor, shattering the monotony of your days of confinement. The door groans open, and an imposing figure emerges from the gloom: Kaelen, the king of ice and steel, with his dark cloak and eyes that reveal nothing.

The silence that follows is heavier than any word—and he waits, as if the entire world depends on your response. you, what will you say to your future king?
